president obama back to the white house this morning after vacationing in hawaii and priority one will be figuring out how a would tsh be bomber boarded a plane over christmas and what needs to change. cbs news senior white house correspondent bill plant is live at the white house with more. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the events of these past 11 days prove the point that a president no matter where he is never really on vacation. the obamas left hawaii early this morning just about the time things were finally getting back to normal at one of the busiest u.s. airports. an entire terminal of holiday travelers at the new jersey's new york liberty international had to be rescreened after someone entered the gate area through an exit. the whole process took six hours. >> we were on the plane and they said you have to get off. >> reporter: starting today, international passengers flying to the u.s. face new scrutiny. >> step inside the machine right here. >> reporter: all passengers originating from 14 country, among them nigeria, pakistan,
7:03 am
somalia and yemen, will face more intensive screening techniques including pat-downs and hand checks of all carry-on luggage. tomorrow president obama meets with security advisers to discuss what additional steps need to be taken to tighten security. a cold reality that overshadowed the first family's hawaiian vacation. >> hey, guys. ready to go back? >> we're ready. are you ready? >> are we all in? >> reporter: one question which has all of washington wondering and which the president will have to xwrap well when he returns later today is will any heads roll for the failure to connect the dots on the in-telling against surrounding the attempted christmas day bombing of that plane in detroit. harry? >> bill plante, thanks so much. one of the issues president obama will also sgu with his advisers tomorrow is how to control the spread of terrorism to yemen. cbs news correspondent elizabeth palmer is in london with more on
7:04 am
that growing hot spot. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, harry. indeed a hot spot. ever since it became clear that the failed detroit bomber abdulmutallab got his training and perhaps even his explosives in yemen. in the yemeni capital saana, the u.s. embassy is closed for the second day in a row after a senior white house counterterrorism official said al qaeda may be planning an attack. it wouldn't be the first time. in 2008, 19 people died when the embassy was bombed and rocketed by a group calling itself islamic jihad. and back in 2000, the uss cole was bombed on a stop in yemen for refueling. over the weekend, general david petraeus made a surprise visit to yemen to meet the president. he also announced the u.s. will more than double its $67 million counterterrorism aid package to this poor and heavily tribaled
7:05 am
country which has been battling a civil war for a decade. but even an expanded aid program may not be enough to tackle the threats from al qaeda and its sympathiz sympathizers. >> it's extremely difficult to eliminate the terrorist fractions because even the yemeni government doesn't have full control over its territory. >> reporter: the government under heavy pressure to tackle mill tan city is trying, though. it ordered two missile strike mis-december on what it called al qaeda targets which is says killed at least 30 fighters. now, the growth of evidence that shows the extent of terrorism in yemen is going to complicate efforts to close down guantanamo this year. of the 198 detainees still there, 89 of them are i can't make yemeni. thank you very much. joining us now, richard haass, president of the council of foreign relations. describe yemen to me. is it as bad as somalia, is it a
7:06 am
totally failed state? >> not totally failed, but yeah city failed. it's failing. it's a country of nearly 25 million people. you've got several in-ser recollectionsing for on, the government is not in control of large parts of the territory. this is not really a sovereign place. you've got tribes, you have separatist group, terrorist organizations. exceptionally slightly out of control. think of it as the wild west. >> is that why it has been such a rich and fertile ground for al qaeda to find rev few there? >> exactly right. al qaeda fills vacuums. it's no coincidence that al qaeda is active in places like yemen, like somalia, like pakistan. in the old days in:00 h. afghanistan. they fill the spaces where the sovereign government is unable or unwilling to exercise authority. >> and he is speak l. specially in the case of afghanistan where we are pouring more and more troops, al qaeda just trips over into the no map's land between pakistan and afghanistan. and especially into a place like yemen. do you foresee, for instance,
7:07 am
somehow in the future united states forces chasing al qaeda in to a place like yemen? >> possibly with small numbers of u.s. troop, the special forces team using drones. but the real policy is to partner with the local government. to put it bluntly, we can't occupy the world. we can't occupy afghanistan. we're not allowed in serious ways in to pakistan. we can't go into yemen and somalia and everywhere else. instead, we have to try to build up the capacities of these governments, but that's a long and ticket and in the end incomplete effort. >> and elizabeth palmer just said we'll double our money, put double down in yemen. if there really isn't much of a government there, how wise is an investment like that? >> it's a wise investment, but we shouldn't expect complete success. so we'll guild up some capacity, we'll have to do some more things ourselves, but think of it this as like fighting disease. every once in a while you make some progress, but you never eliminate the virus. you're not going to eliminate yemen as a place where the virus of terrorism exercises itself.
7:08 am
>> let's talk then about -- so there's yemen, so malia. will we anticipate a time you can't eliminate the disease all together. >> >> this is part of the architecture of our lives. terrorism is probably here to stay. we question after it when we can. we protect ourselves as best we can. we get better at recovery, at making ourselves more resilient. but terrorism is something we have to fight, but also live it with. and we also have to prepare ours for those awful days like 9/11 when the terrorists will succeed. they will have good day, we will have bad days, like we saw in aching the other day when they wimed out an important part of our ci achlt team. there will be bad days for us. this is a struggle and struggles continue. they tend not to end. >> tom kean may have suggested this alleged terrorist on christmas day may have been in its own way a blessing in dissize to re-remind everyone that this is something that's
7:09 am
always with us. >> the governor was right. but it's depressing that we need to be reminded. one of the lessons of 9/11 was we need to integrate the information. we've clearly failed to do that. i hope we don't need another remi reminder. >> also a pleasure. thank you so much. now to the bitter deep freeze gripping the country from the rockies all the way down to florida. forecasters say it could stay that way most of the week. cbs news national correspondent dean reynolds has the latest. >> reporter: temperatures dropped below zero from the northern plains across the mississippi valley. while in the northeast, it was little better with temperatures in the 20s. even the southeast got the treatment with temperatures dipping down into the 30s. lake-effect snow dumped nine inches on buffalo, new york and up to 15 inches in the suburbs. a record setting nearly three feet of snow fell on burlington, vermont, one of the biggest storms that town has ever seen. the combination of snow and wind driven gusts cause dangerous driving conditions across

massachusetts, making cleanup difficult for many. >> this is good, this is the second or third time i've shoveled today. the wind keeps blowing everything back on the driveway. >> reporter: but minnesota registered the coldest temperature in the country from 20 below in eden prairie to an arctic like 36 below in crane lake. no big deal for hearty minnesota. >> i can handle it. i'm cold, but i've been around the block. i was shoveling snow last week in a t-shirt. >> that was dean reynolds reporting from i hear very cold and gusty chicago this morning. >> perfect weather for ice fishing. >> you know what, it is. people in minnesota are loving this weather. let's take a check and see what's happening all across the country because a lot of people have question, how long will this last, how far south does it go? look at these temperatures. atlanta this morning, you'll see a high temperature of 29. but 19 this morning. colder in atlanta than anywhere in maine. a storm system off the eastern seaboard of new england spinning all that cold air back and look

bobby flay teamed up with cris comeford on iron chef america last night. they took on a very tough team of emeril lagasse and mario about a tally. guess who came out the big winners? bobby is here to tell us all about his big victory. but first the nba is suffering another hit to its image. one of the game's star, gilbert arenas of the washington wizards, is accused of drawing a gun on a 250e78 mate. bianca solorzano is with us in the studio with more. >> good morning. wizards point guard gilbert arenas is expected to face more questions today, but this time they'll be coming from law enforcement officials as part of their investigation into the alleged gun play inside the team's locker room. >> reporter: he's an nba all-star, known for his moves on the court. but it's what happened inside the washington wizards lker room that has gilbert arenas facing possible criminal charges and league penalties.
7:32 am
>> if i have to do the police investigation that's what i have to deal with. >> reporter: according to reports, it all stems from a card game on a december 19th team flight. arenas wound up owning kriten ton $60,000. two days later, the players had a heated argument in the wizards locker room. at one point, the men aimed guns at each other. arenas denies gambling, but he has admitted to storing unloaded guns in the locker room. which is against nba policy. >> that was bad judgment on my part, you know, storing them here. i take responsibility for that. >> reporter: the u.s. attorney's office in washington, d.c. along with local police are now investigating. >> whether it be a vip, a police officer or anybody else, we treat them all the same. so you have my word that the metropolitan police department will handle it just like any other case. >> reporter: one of his former teammates says he was known for egt collecting guns. >> he's probably the person who shouldn't have the gun and the fact that he brought it into the
7:33 am
locker room, just so many different bad scenarios that could happen from that. >> the latest report by the new york "post" name as third teammate, mcgee, involved in that high stakes card game, but says he was not a part the locker room incident. meanwhile kriten ton, who also faces gun charges, has reportedly hired a lawyer. >> thank you so much. joining us now from los angeles is former nba player kenny smith, new basketball analyst for tnt. kenny, good morning. >> good morning to you. >> any possible excuse or explanation for why gilbert arenas loaded or not loaded would have guns in a locker room in the nba? >> well, i think it's bad discretion and it shows just probably a lack of immaturity on fwil bert's part. more than anything else. i think he has an idea of about how he said -- the reason he had it there was to take it away from the home, but it's bad
7:34 am
judgment and being very immature. >> is there a sub culture of guns, is there a sub culture of gambling in the nba? >> i think that first with gilbert, to me from what i know of him and about him, he's definitely not a menacing person. however, he at times has been very immature. and the subculture so to speak that it's an american problem is sguns and gambling. it doesn't make the nba immune to it. ic a lot of people think because you're in the nba all of a sudden things become immune to societal problems. societal problems is not going to stop at the washington wizard as arena. >> some people have talked about why certain players might want to carry a gun. there are incidents of professional sports athletes being assaulted. is it about image or is it about
7:35 am
safety? >> i think it's a little bit of both. you look at a lot of nba players, they feel that -- if you look at them first, i think they're wealthy young men who are really one degree of separation from their friends, their family members who aren't wealthy. so they still will be in areas around the country that aren't your safest neighborhoods. so their mindset is, okay, i'll protect myself or i'll hire security to protect myself, but i think this is just a case of being immature and not realizing the consequences of what could happen with a gun in the arena. and you buy insurance for what might happen. if you get caught drunk driving, it's because of what might happen, not what did happen. and he's fortunate that nothing did happen because it could have been a consequence that would he have regretted for a long time. >> you just wonder if these guys
7:36 am
did not ever hear the story of plaxico burris. i mean, this is -- the guy's in jail for crying out loud. >> and like i said, i think the one thing that plaxico burris, you've heard of jason williams, and i think that it's really a sign of immaturity on his part more and poor judgment. like i said, i don't think gilbert arenas is a menacing person at all, i know him, i've met him, but this is just a sign of immaturity. >> thanks so much forgetting up so early for us. do appreciate it. >> no problem. dave, who is back from iraq, how many trips? >> this is my sixth to either iraq or afghanistan. >> you entertain the troops? >> i wouldn't have it any other way. i get even more out of it than they do. it's remarkable. a day shouldn't go by when we don't thank the troops for what they're doing. but back to the business at hand. southern shivers. look at this. temperatures not getting out of the mid-50s as you head to

a new study shows that teens who don't get enough sleep are far more likely to suffer from depression or even have suicidal thoughts. dr. jennifer ashton is here with more. good morning. >> good morning. >> what does the study find? >> this is a very reputable study, they looked at over 15,000 teenagers from 7th to 12th grade and found a couple of things. those who got five hours of sleep or less were 71% more likely to report symptoms of depression and 48% more likely to have thoughts of suicide than
7:42 am
those who slept -- >> these are huge numbers. >> they found other things. they found that those teenage who are went to sleep after 12. :00 midnight were 20% more likely to have thoughts of suicide if they went to sleep at midnight or later. so, again, we know sleep is important. we talked about it on the show many times. but this is really one of the first studies to make such a powerful link between depression and suicidal thoughts. >> it surprises me that it's true because normally you'd think that when a child gets older they just don't need as much sleep. >> that's right. i have two pre-teens and in my house this, is a nightly struggle to get them to go to sleep early and surely every parent can can relate, but yet it's true. the thinking now is that teenage year, that those children might actually need more sleep than a child in grade school. so this is a very important thing that parents really need to be aware of. >> so how many hours do you think teenagers should be get something. >> the ideal number is nine or
7:43 am
